Do I need to update Debian along with Proxmox?

[thusband]

I'm running Proxmox 7.2-11 on an Intel NUC and regularly update using the Proxmox Updates. It updates Proxmox but do I also need to update Debian separately or is that done with the Proxmox update?

Thanks for clarifying this, probably, rookie question.

When you update PVE using the webUI, it will update proxmox packages as well as debian packages. So no additional steps needed, unless you want to upgrade to a new major PVE version.

Even if it is based on Debian it's not "Proxmox running Debian". It is a own system based on debian. PVE replaces several debian base packages with it's own packages. PVE also useses APT lile debian does. So if you run an update using APT like you will do on a debian system it will update proxmox as well. Otherwise if you run an update via WebGUI it will do the same for debian base packages.

Great, I'm clear on that now. Many thanks!
